Enterotypes may be suitable for exploit on ruminant:a short review
The definition of enterotype facilitates the understanding of intestinal flora.Enterotype can be used as a biomarker to reflect the nutritional level and health status of animals,and is dynamically affected by many factors.Although enterotype has some limitations,it is necessary to classify intestinal microflora of adult stable individuals.Enterotype can be used as a biomarker to reflect the nutritional level and health status of animals.Many studies have shown that enterotype contributes to the diagnosis and treatment of precision medicine and personalized nutrition management.Like enterotype,the diet structure,physiological status and living environment of ruminants will affect the microbial community structure of their gastrointestinal tract.The gastrointestinal microflora of ruminants has similar characteristics to that of monogastric animals.The changes of gastrointestinal microflora of ruminants can reflect the nutritional metabolism and health of ruminants.This study summarized the significance and research progress of enterotype,and provided theoretical basis for the application and development of enterotype in ruminants.
